H is for "El Hipopótamo"

Thank you John for this picture!  The letter "H" is silent in Spanish, but it has a big name, "hache," and a big animal icon, el hipopótamo.  Do you think that necktie itches on the Hippo's neck?  Itch sounds a little like "hache," and the necktie also reminds us that this animal, like all the others we saw before it, is a masculine animal in Spanish.  He's also in a big "O" shaped pool to remind us his name ends in the "O" sound.
